I see. Musta gave up on that hey. Looking back at the first few pages they were keepin on it. Of course that was like 8 yrs ago....... Ha
Have a gooder eh!!!
So you're the lucky owner of that SJ5. Man there are so many beautiful and completely unique Dingwalls out there! Congrats on yours.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I currently only use mono cases, the m80, the double bass case, and the vertigo which I use most. All cases work well on my z3, ab1, and ab II

I made an executive decision on the numbers back then. From my perspective, there's no reason someone has to have proof of ownership to be in the club that loves Sheldon's basses. Most churches won't stop you from coming in the doors either. ; )
On top of that, people were buying and selling and trying to turn in numbers and get multiple numbers and/or get special numbers. Not everyone who sold or traded their Dingwalls wanted to do it (it's often a painful moment)...why make it worse and take their numbers away. I much prefer that we have a big tent here and remain people and not numbers.
Totally. I just saw the listing on the first few pages and if it still existed I might as well be on it.
I did notice however that it was losing its order pretty quick. That's cool. Either way I'm here to partake in some convo.
Cheers,
Nate

Thanks dt and lowend. From the day of spec'ing it out til the day I received it sure way a long wait. And here I go again. I don't know that I'll ever sell her. It is hands down the best bass I ever played. A few years back I had an opportunity at a super nice Z3....... Played it..... It was amazing but not me. I'm more of an Sj and ab2 guy.
That said, when I get my new 6er there is a good chance that my ab2 5 will go up. I'll give myself a chance to see how comfortable I feel with the six and if all is well I'll say my goodbyes.

I'll point out that my wife is balking at the notion of buying some furniture that has a 10 week build time. Heh. She's never ordered a bass.

You should encourage her to buy you a new bass to let her learn this lesson. =P

Probably not in the works. I made a gear-storage purchase recently that's causing some cascading sprending...next up, I'm shopping for a lawn tractor...3.5 hours a week in mowing with a 21" will get unfun pretty fast.
Oh I am familiar with the struggle of a huge lawn. My dad educated me in patience and perseverance, with mowing twice a week. Sumbitch bought a rider the week I moved out.
I have three brothers and we all spent many, many, many hours push-mowing when we were growing up. Thank God for my John Deere rider!!!

My dad was of the WW2 generation. He did things like shovel coal in the coke furnaces at a steel mill to put himself through college. He believed in a reel mower.
But then he doesn't have the 1.33 acres I just bought. It's a great chance to put on some headphones and listen to 4 hours of music though. 
I got a push mower just to get up and running over the weekend, and was laughing at the manual that said to change the oil at 5 hours...not that that part was funny...but the part that said, "roughly 4 to 5 weeks worth of mowing time"
Scag Turf Tiger with 61" deck. I have 2.6 acres, hilly terrain, lots of strees and shrubbery to cut around and can still be done under an hour.
Did I mention I look forward to mowing nowadays?

Forgot, this is a Dingwall thread.
Here's a Dingwall. And some other pretties.

Started to wire up the Glock and ran into a slight issue. It's also hot out again today, so eff that, I'll work on it when it is cooler again (this coming weekend).
